Railtracks

John Berger

Railtracks is a collaboration between two writers of remarkable
achievement. A meditation on railways, love and loss, at once intimate
and committed, it moves from the industrial to the metaphysical, from
the tectonic shifts of globalisation to the internal pulses of memory,
and from the present to a past that still exists in vivid, essential
traces. This sensual and exploratory dialogue is accompanied throughout
by the photography of Tereza Stehlíková, which charts its own
atmospheric journey by train through the winter landscapes of Southern
Bohemia.
